Chapter Seventy-Six: Fire Attack
Since entering the palace, Xing'er has never been separated from Qin Wan for so long, if something really happened to Qin Wan, where should she go in this world alone?
Looking at the river flowing below, Apricot couldn't help but shed tears.
Suddenly, Hulai's rough, thin hand grabbed hers.
Xing'er was startled, quickly broke away, and said angrily, "You...... What are you doing? ”
"Apricot, I like you." Hu Lai made an affectionate look and looked at Apricot.
Xing'er quickly stood up and took two steps back, "What?" ”
Hu Lai also immediately got up and continued to approach Xing'er, "I liked you when I first met you, and I was willing to help you so much along the way, all for you." ”
It was the first time Xing'er heard a man say such things to herself, she didn't like Hu Lai at all, but seeing Hu Lai so infatuated, she was a little reluctant to break his heart, so she said: "It's impossible between us, I want to follow the princess for the rest of my life, and you will have to go back to the capital then." ”
"I am willing to stay in Xizhou for you, as long as I can be with you, I can do nothing." Hu Lai said, taking a wooden carving from his arms, "This is a small portrait of you carved by my own hands, whenever I think of you, I take it out, and now I want to give it to you......"
Apricot looked at the wood carving, carved like a fairy.
Is she so beautiful in his heart?
"Xing'er, do you dislike me for being ugly?" Hu Lai said with a sad face.
"No, of course I don't." Xing'er hurriedly denied it.
Although it is true that Hu Lai is not very good-looking, how can she judge people by her appearance?
"And you promised me?"
Hu Lai happily grabbed Apricot's hand.
Xing'er was so frightened that she broke away and retreated, "No, I don't dislike you, but I can't promise you, I ......"
She wanted to say that she didn't like Hu Lai, but she was afraid of breaking Hu Lai's heart.
"It's okay, I won't force you, but I will always wait for you, you don't have to reply to me in a hurry, I'll send you back to the tent to rest first." Hu Lai was afraid that Xing'er would be in a hurry, and Xing'er refused that he would be out of play, so he immediately ended the topic.
dragged on like this, Xing'er has a good temper and a soft heart, and sooner or later it will be in his pocket.
As long as he gets Xing'er, if Qin Wan doesn't give him the antidote, he will let Xing'er beg for it.
Xing'er never gave up on Qin Wan, and brought her so much silver, if it weren't for Xing'er, where would Qin Wan have so much silver to feed the entire exile team?
Xing'er opened her mouth to ask for an antidote, and Qin Wan would not give it.
Hu Lai sent Apricot back to the tent and secretly smirked in his heart.
He's been deliberately approaching Apricot these days, trying to please her, for this.
Back in the tent, Xing'er lay down on her bunk, Chunni next to her was already asleep, she looked at the wood carving Hu Lai gave her, and didn't know what to do with it for a while.
What if someone sees it?
No, she had to hide.
Xing'er hurriedly put the wood carving into her package, for fear of being discovered, and wrapped it in clothes.
Her mind was a mess right now.
was worried that her princess had already upset her, but now Hu Lai even confessed to her.
Hu Lai is almost forty years old, she is only sixteen years old, how could she agree?
But these days, Hu Lai is really good to her.
If there is anything to eat and drink, he will bring it to her as soon as possible.
When she ran away the other day, her leg was injured, and Holai took the risk to go out and buy her medicine.
Xing'er knows that Hu Lai is not a good person, if he refuses Hu Lai and angers him, will he trouble them again like before?
After a night of tossing and turning, Apricot didn't sleep much.
Yamashita.
Song Ce and others were defeated, and Wang Shengbao was furious.
"Are you a piece of waste? So many people, they couldn't even look at a hostage, and they even let them rescue him?! Wang Shengbao scolded angrily.
"Someone has used a secret weapon on me, and I can't prevent it......" Song Ce said defensively.
"Okay, don't talk about it, you take a team of people to the arsenal and bring all the oil over, I'm going to burn them all to death on the mountain!" Wang Shengbao's eyes burst into murder.
Now it is autumn, the weather is dry, there are many wild grasses and trees on the hillside, and now the northwest wind is blowing, and the conditions for fire attack are almost full.
But fire oil is a heavy item in the military arsenal and cannot be easily mobilized, and because they are outnumbered, Wang Shengbao has no intention of using fire oil at all.
But now the repeated failures have simply made him lose face.
He no longer has any scruples.
It took nearly two days to carry the fire oil, and it was night, when the northwest wind blew again, blowing the "Bao" flag with red letters on a black background.
Wang Shengbao ordered those people to carry barrels of fire oil to the hillside, spilling most of the hillside.
The moon is high.
"Ignition!"
The torch was lit on the oil and suddenly burst into the sky, like a fiery snake, spreading rapidly around and above, and in the blink of an eye a huge wall of fire was formed.
The hillside was not high, and the wall of fire burned almost halfway up the hillside.
Burning fumes filled almost the entire camp of the exile team.
"Why is it so big?"
Xiao Yi was changing the dressing for the wound in the house, when he suddenly smelled a puff of smoke and hurriedly ran out, only to see that the surroundings were full of flames.
Xiao Hao has also come out.
The food of the exile team had been eaten up, and he was worried about the food, but he didn't notice Wang Shengbao's small movements below, and he was overlooked for a while, and it turned out to be like this.
"It's oil." Xiao Hao's face turned pale as he looked at the situation down the hillside.
As a general who has been on the battlefield, Xiao Hao naturally knows the lethality of fire oil.
Moreover, Song Ce and the others simply spent a lot of money, at least pulling hundreds of barrels of fire oil and splashing all the underneath.
It is impossible to pass through such a long wall of fire.
It's a northwesterly wind, and the fire is spreading very fast, and it will burn up soon.
The others also found out about the situation, and the entire exile team immediately became chaotic.
"Xiao Yi, you lead people to clean up all the grass and trees near the camp, at least one zhang wide, and you must not let the fire burn into the camp." Xiao Hao ordered.
Xiao Hao also knows the simple way to deal with fire attack, but the most important thing now is not fire, but smoke.
The smoke from the burning of the oil was poisonous, and such a huge amount of smoke gathered in the camp......
There are so many old, weak, sick and disabled people here......
"Xue Ying, you take everyone to hide by the river, and you guys find out all the pots and pans, and follow me to get water." Xiao Hao beckoned the remaining young men and ran towards the river.
But as soon as they arrived at the river, they found that it had also been filled with oil, and there were seven or eight official boats parked on the river, and a group of archers stood on them, constantly firing rockets at them.
Soon, a wall of fire formed on the riverbank, forcing them back.
"Hahahaha, just by you, you still want to fight with General Ben?" Wang Shengbao walked out of a cabin with a pot-bellied belly and laughed proudly, "This is where you are buried!" ”
